Thanks for the praise, much appreciated.:-)

I mainly chose it because blue is a colour i have a lot of. Other than those
two front windows of course. Eventually i will pick some Blue ones of those
up on Brickbay etc.
Other than the front windscreen it wasn't too difficult either, good idea
for a first attempt i thought.
I also thought the yellow & blue colour scheme looked good together.

Here is a page with a heap of information about this class of engine.
